Kiwi yachting fans will be able to watch the 2021 America's Cup defence on free-to-air TV, after a spirited bidding war between Mediaworks and TVNZ. Ultimately, TVNZ have secured the broadcast rights for a reported $3 million dollars, a figure that was apparently driven up steeply by the bidding process.
